Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder or Tajin
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 bell peppers, sliced
  • 3–4 cups cooked rice
  • 3 cups grilled corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • shredded lettuce
  • mashed/whipped avocado
  • jalapeños
  • cilantro
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)
  • 1/3 cup salsa verde
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons spicy honey
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, combine the olive oil, chicken, paprika, chili powder (or Tajin), cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  2. Set the skillet over high heat. Cook until seared all over and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the chopped garlic. Cook for an additional minute before removing everything from the skillet.
  3. In the same skillet used for chicken, add sliced onions. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Toss in sliced bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until peppers are tender, approximately another 5 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with peppers. Toss everything together to combine.
  5. In a glass jar, combine olive oil, salsa verde, lime juice, spicy honey, and chopped cilantro. Shake well to mix ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Spoon portions of cooked rice into serving bowls. Top with sautéed chicken and peppers mixture. Add grilled corn on top along with shredded lettuce. Sprinkle corn with chili powder or Tajin before drizzling vinaigrette over everything. Finish by crumbling cotija cheese over each bowl followed by toppings like mashed avocado, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro.
